Seyf ibn Umayreh narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“A believer will never deceive his fellow believing brothers, nor oppress them, be treacherous with them, humiliate, gossip about, or grumble at his believing brothers. He will never say his believing brother is lying. Should he ever grumble, their friendship will be ruined. Should he accuse him in any way he will lose his faith in just the same manner that salt gets dissolved in water. The reward of fully feeding two believers is more than freeing a slave for God's sake.”
عن سيف بن عميرة عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
المؤمن لا يغش المؤمن ولا يظلمه ولا يخونه ولا يخذله ولا يكذبه ولا يغتابه ولا يقول له " أف " فإنه إذا قال له " أف " لم تكن بينهما ولاية، فإذا اتهمه إنماث الإيمان في قلبه كما ينماث الملح في الماء، ومن أطعم مؤمنين أشبعهما كان أفضل من رقبة.
